Royal Secret: I'm A Princess!

Chapter 568: WHOSE BABY IS IT?

“P-PRINCESS NEOMA, what happened to you…?”

“I became a cute baby again,” Neoma answered Paige’s question calmly. “I lost Tteokbokki, my Spirits, and my ability to create barriers. I’m not fine, but I don’t have the luxury to grieve.”

She wasn’t being sarcastic to her “children.”

If she said that she was fine, she would only make them worry about her even more because they knew she couldn’t be fine in her current state.

Hence, she decided to be honest.

In that way, her “children” could easily believe the assurance that she would give them.

“But even if I feel like shit right now for failing to protect my people, I’m still fine,” Neoma said firmly. “My head is still clear, and I’m only looking at what I could right now instead of what I could have done. And even though I turned into a baby, I don’t feel like my life is threatened in any way. It’s inconvenient, but it’s not that bad.”

…..

And she was determined as hell to bring back everything that she had lost tonight- Tteokbokki, her Spirits, and her ability to make barriers.

With those words, Paige and Jeno finally looked relieved.

“I already checked the annex building and found the laboratory that the crows were using,” Paige reported to her. “However, all the data and the materials here were burned to ashes. I have a feeling that it was Dilan Crowell’s work. He probably destroyed the data and the materials stored in here after he realized that I was messing with his teleportation spell.”

“I see,” she said, nodding. “Did you check every nook and cranny of this place?”

“Yes, Your Royal Highness,” the mage said. “I checked the entire place twice already. However, I didn’t find anything worthy enough for Regina Crowell to risk everything just to send the entire annex building to somewhere else.”

She raised an eyebrow when she noticed that Paige wasn’t convinced. “Your face tells me you still need to check the entire building one more time.”

“That’s right, Princess Neoma,” Paige admitted. “I have a feeling that there’s something special in this place.”

“I don’t feel anything special, but I trust you, Paige,” Jeno said, then he turned to her. “Princess Neoma, should we roam the building?”

She was about to say something when, all of a sudden, she heard a voice in her head.

“A baby,” Neoma said while looking around. “There’s another baby here.”

After saying that, she saw small balls of red lights.

But Paige and Jeno were only looking at her with a confused look on their faces, so Neoma realized that only she could see it.

“Jeno, Paige, let’s go,” Neoma said, pointing in the hallway. “Let’s follow the light!”

THE ENTIRE room was covered with rocks.

Of course, those weren’t ordinary rocks, since each one was coated with Mana.

“Glenn, it must have drained your energy,” Mona said to Glenn. Only the king could use the earth element that way. It was the reason why he became the vice-commander of the White Lion Knights in the past. And she could see that his strength and abilities didn’t go anywhere. “Good job, Sire.”

“Thank you, Lady Roseheart,” Glenn said shyly. “I’m not sure if I deserve your praise, though. After all, it’s not enough to contain my son’s divine power here.”

The room was almost empty.

Queen Brigitte was sleeping on the bed while her newborn baby slept next to her.

There was a bedside table which contained necessary things that a mother and a baby would need.

Manu was also there.

And of course…

Three huge, transparent spheres solely made of divine power.

“I can’t believe a newborn baby has that much divine power,” Mona said in disbelief. “The new saint is stronger than when the former saint Zavaroni was born.”

Manu nodded in agreement. “That’s right, Mona Roseheart.”

“Sire, you’re really doing a good job containing that amount of divine power in this room for this long,” Mona praised Glenn again because he deserved it. “You’re doing very well for your wife and son.”

Glenn looked moved by her words, then a sense of pride sparked in his eyes.

[And rightfully so.]

“Mona Roseheart, we need to release the new saint’s divine power now or else it will explode here and kill us all,” Manu said seriously. “However, this amount of divine power would be noticed by anyone who could see divine things. We can’t let that happen.”

“I know what to do,” she said. Thankfully, she finally felt the presence of the people that she had been waiting for ever since Nero left to provide support for Dahlia’s fight. “Willian, Delwyn, come out.”

Just like that, the two Spirits appeared before her at the same time.

William and Delwyn both got down on one knee while bowing to her. “We’re at your service, my lady.”

“We’re going to release the new saint’s divine power,” Mona declared, summoning Nydia- her main weapon. It was a rosegold staff covered with vines snaked around it. The top of the staff had a fully-bloomed pink rose on it encased inside a transparent glass sphere. “We’re going to create a snowstorm on the entire continent.”

NEOMA COULD see how Paige missed the baby.

The light led them back to the destroyed laboratory. However, the light guided them to the wall.

Yes, the baby was hidden within the walls.

When she asked Paige to destroy the wall as carefully as possible, they found a child inside a transparent egg.

It was a baby girl, probably around two or three years old.

The baby girl had blonde hair and pale skin. All that the poor child was wearing was a plain white dress that was a little big for her.

“Baby,” Neoma said, placing her hand on the surface of the transparent egg. “Are you okay- argh!”

She was surprised when the egg suddenly exploded, then a thick cloud of smoke covered it.

Jeno and Paige immediately protected her.

Her son jumped away from the egg, while the mage stood in front of them protectively.

Huh?

It was the baby’s voice!

When the smoke finally cleared, the three of them were shocked to find the baby girl suspended in the air.

[Pink eyes…]

The baby girl had pink eyes.

the baby girl said while looking at Neoma. “Have you been well, Neoma, my lovely baby?”>

Huh???

Neoma pointed a finger at herself. “How am I your “baby,” baby girl?”
